A skunk is a small furry animal with distinctive black and white markings. It is known for the foul-smelling liguid which it sprays when frightened or in danger. the smell remains for days on whatever has been sprayed.
The sprayed liquid, called musk, comes from a pair of glands near the base ot the skunk's tail. The animal can spry accurately as far as 4 m (12 feet). Before it sprays, it issues a warning by stamping its front feet and by hissing or growling. The spray is so strong that it has a suffocating effect, which means it makes it hard to breathe when you are near it. And if the spray gets into the eyes, it can cause temporary blindness.
